Spurs face Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday evening at Old Trafford.

Spurs have not managed to win away to the Red Devils since December 1989.

Modric told the club's official website: "We're ready, why not?

"We showed against Inter in the second half that we can compete with the best teams in the world and United is certainly one of the best teams in the world.

"But why not go there and try to win? I know Tottenham haven't won at Old Trafford for a long time, so why not now?

"It's the best stage to play, the best stadium and it will be a great game for us. I hope we can do something there."
